Web cam recommendations for OS X

I have a mac pro and am looking for a good web cam.  So far in looking around it seems that there really aren't alot of web cams that will run on OS X.

Can someone recommend one for this OS?

Thanks

Thank you for the comments.  I will keep an eye out for one.
My doctor's office uses thiis... That should tell you something about the "robustness" of the hardware. (They use it on a daily basis, at least 30 times a day....for photos of all incoming/outgoing patients.) The face-tracking/auto-panning feature alone is enough to warrant some curriosity... I don't know of any other webcam that can automatically track faces....and mechanically adjust the lens position to compensate!!!!

"This highly unusual and futuristic webcam features automatic pan and tilt capabilities as well as automatic face-tracking software to ensure you're always in the picture...."

Buy it from a major brick and mortar and you can return it if you don't like it.

If I didn't own an iSight (by default, on my MBP), I would buy one of these... Although, the users above are correct, the original iSight's are highly coveted... If you can find one, I recommend buying it...just for kicks...(It's resolution/specs aren't up to snuff with most of the competition in the market today.)
